Write a book, collect $100M, send a photoprobe to the sites, then they will say you faked it. The conspiracy industry will just move on. From JFK to Cydonia there is always another permutation to sell just one more book or magazine. Usually it comes down to defining what some people WANT to believe, then validating that belief. if you WANT the moon to be reachable, then via science you may be able to make it so. I WANT there to be aliens somewhere,and it would be nice if they were here already. Am I so far from the alien abductees? Test for benefit and coherence. Who benefits from SETI? Who benefits from SCIFI?
